  1. File Request Link API: Get a file_request object by folder's ID

    The file request link is a very useful feature.
    The advantage of being able to operate from the API is great.
    Next, I want to be able to get the file_request object from the folder.

  2. Approve each file separately for a manual start with multiple files

    We want to approve each file separately for a manual start with multiple files.

    For example, I get an application for three files and I want to turn back only one of them, but as it stands, I need to turn back all three. The applicant has to choose three files again and re-apply, which is very time-consuming.

  3. Assign Relay task to person who completed previous task.

    If you create a task and assign it to multiple users, say Tom, Bill and Susan where only 1 person needs to complete it, I want to be able to automatically assign the subsequent task to the person that completed the preceding task. For example, if Susan is the person that completes task 1, I would want the subsequent task to be assigned to Susan only, eliminating Bill and Tom from the process.

  6. Ability for variable dates in metadata templates

    When assigned a metadata template as a Relay outcome, customer would like to have the Date value be dynamic and reflect the date the template is assigned, vs the date the workflow was created. The idea is that each outcome would change the status field of the file, and they'd also like to capture the date the status was changed. Knowing the date the status changed would allow end users to search for content in a certain status, by date range.
    This functionality currently does not exist without asking the end user to manually update the date. Use case for…

  7. Request Link via API

    Scenario for Request Link via API: 1) Ticketing system support case requires the openee to upload files to the ticket 2) Use app to collect case number, authenticate user, create folder with case number 3) Set File upload link "Title", "Add Instructions" and "require users to provide email" 4) Get file upload link from API for pasting into the support ticket

  10. Ability to trigger multiple workflows

    “Lets put it like this, if you have the functionality to split workflows based on different files in 1 folder, people here would want to switch from Sharepoint to Box ?. It is currently the key reason to stay with Sharepoint as far as I’m made aware of.”

    Basically, the customer wants to be able to trigger multiple workflows within one folder, but only on some files for each workflow. Currently they could achieve this through metadata, but this would not be contained to the folder.

  11. It will be great if we can connect folder action between multiple flows.

    When you have in the first flow a folder action (copy, move or create), you won't be able to reference the folder in a seconf flow if you want to take action if the task that has been rejected.

    I have created a couple of Relay Flow (Contract Management and HR Onboarding) during the flow I create folder to collect more information from either a vendor a new onboard person, but when the flow get rejected and could not create a rejection flow (Second flow) because could not take action on a folder.

    This could be important when we will…

  13. Limits for simultaneous file uploads and Batch processing capability

    I usually upload folders. Each folder could have 1 or 2 files, or 6 or 7 files, or more. When it's just 1 or 2, everything is fine, but when there are 4 or more, they seem to eat up my bandwidth. It would help if there was a limit within Box to control how many files upload simultaneously. Additionally, having a true batch process would be very helpful. That would allow me to line up several folders to upload and each one would upload in turn.

  14. move/arrange flows by moving them onto the worflow tree (on the right)

    The aim is to modify the order of a flow by moving it through the workflow tree (on the right of the screen). This will be useful when U duplicate a flow and move it to another place into the scenario.

  15. Import data already on Box into DICOM viewer

    The only way to import images into the DICOM viewer right now is to upload directly using the import tool. This is problematic for two reasons: 1. large sets of data are handled better through Drive or Sync than a web interface and 2. data already in Box need to be downloaded and then imported (uploaded) again using the import tool, which is not practical when working with 10s-100s of GB of DICOM data. There should be a mechanism to import data already stored on Box into the DICOM viewer.

    This may be similar to a different issue: https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/36114310-direct-dicom-upload-endpoint-desired

  16. viewing PDF on box online

    when viewing a PDF online, the toolbar (toggle thumbnails, zoom, pages, fullscreen) that hovers towards the bottom tends to cover areas that i need to see. can this toolbar live somewhere else? or make it disappear until you mouse over that area?

  17. Move uploaded files (via an Automation) to different folders based on the file type.

    Use case: Users could bulk upload a range of file types (docx, image pdf, audio etc) into a single folder that redirects each file based on the file type to different folders for different skills processing.
    Example: a word doc and an audio file could be uploaded to the same folder the word doc gets auto moved to a folder that triggers a skill to extract concepts however the audio file is moved to a folder that triggers a speech to text skill (the text could then be auto moved to the same folder as the word doc for concept…

  18. Records Retention Functionality

    This is a very old idea that should available for Box users. Dealing with real records retention not retention policies as currently used in Box. Records/Document retention deals with the management of information thru its lifecycle - Records/documents are created, used, store, archived, kept permanently (for administrative, legal, fiscal, and historical reasons) or destroyed. Currently, there is no way to apply records retention rules or schedules to Box, which means that we are only dumping content instead of managing the content based on its value - based on a company's records retention schedules. Why not put together a group of…

  19. Select which email notifications you receive by Template or Workflow

    We would like to be able to select notifications for Relay the same way we can in Box (by account settings or by folder/subfolder)

    For example: I am a process owner for an assets approval template. I want to be notified of all actions in this one but none in my other workflows

    For example: I want to be assigned of only comments from feedback in this workflow vs all task completions in another

  20. Notification that a file has entered workflow

    When a file enters workflow it is moved, a notification (preferably to other users in the folder) that the file has been moved because it has entered a workflow is required.
